A good collection of materials concerning the death penalty. The last section dealing with steps you can take to end the death penalty fosters a personal opinion which I would not use in a political science class.Technical Remarks:Some of the links are broken.

Nice presentation but many internal links are broken. Site needs to be updated (Mar 2011) or it will lead to more frustration than it might be worth.Other than that irritant the site is a nice compilation of data and arguments about the death penalty and should serve as a valuable resource for people interested in the topic.

I have used this site in both criminology and introductory sociology courses. Students generally respond quite well to it. It provides a clear but not overwhelming overview of a range of basic arguments against the death penalty and includes questions for further thought and links for further information. Students regularly come away from reviewing this site remembering its key points and having changed views about the issue. I usually only ask students to read the main site, but the wealth of information lends itself to a larger assignment involving deeper exploration as well.
